Coalition for Individuals Aging in Place
Helping older adults maintain their independence.
CIAP is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that empowers seniors to age in place safely and independently, in the homes and communities they love.
What Is Aging in Place
Staying home, on your own terms.
Aging in place means staying in the comfort of your own home while maintaining independence as you grow older. For most older adults, home is where life happens: family, routines, neighbors, memories.
Staying there rarely comes down to one decision. It takes the right help at the right moment, across health, home, finances, and connection, and those needs keep changing as the years go on.
Most families discover their options only in a crisis, after a fall or a diagnosis. CIAP exists so no one has to figure it out alone, or for the first time, under pressure.
Our Impact
Small numbers, real people.
We are early, and we would rather show you exactly where we are than round it up. These are CIAP’s own figures as of November 2026, and they grow as we help more people.

Older adults impacted
Through our programs, including the BRIDGE Senior Help Hotline

Total donations collected
Our goal is to impact the lives of no fewer than 10 million older adults by 2030. We are at the beginning of that road, and every gift and every partner moves it forward.
What CIAP Is
A concierge for aging in place.
CIAP doesn’t provide care, install equipment, or sell home services. We are a nonprofit coalition that helps older adults and their families figure out what they need, then connects them with providers who deliver it, from occupational therapists and contractors to home technology companies. Any fundraising items we offer support our programs.
One relationship to know about: MyIntel Co., an aging-in-place company led by CIAP’s President and CEO, is an affiliated business. If it is among the options we share, you are always free to choose a different provider.
01
Tell us what's going on
A call, a form, or a conversation. CIAP does not charge for this, and you are under no obligation.
02
We map the whole picture
Not just the immediate problem. We look across home safety, health, daily living, finances, and connection to find what actually matters.
03
We connect you and stay with you
We share screened providers in your area, where available, and you can come back to us as your needs change.
Pilot Program
BRIDGE Senior Help Hotline
A free phone line for older adults and their families. An AI assistant takes your request, then a CIAP team member follows up to help you find local support. Not for emergencies: call 911.
Free
CIAP never charges for the call. Providers set their own prices.
Any time
The AI assistant takes calls day or night.
Mon–Fri
Our team follows up 9am–5pm Mountain Time.
Screened
We review providers before sharing them with you.
Elements of Wellness
Every part of life, every phase of aging.
